Lovely trip on comfortable boat. Plenty of room for the 8 of us with a choice of 4 seating areas. Knowledgeable guide who spoke perfect English. Great afternoon on the river.

Simply wonderful! My wife and I took a 4pm cruise. It was a wonderful way to spend two hours in the afternoon. The experience was made effortless by the crew. I cannot hesitate to recommend you taking this if you are in Porto or Gaia. We will be back!

Very relaxing and informative. The lady (forgot her name!) was so lovely. Probably not the best activity for my 2 teenage boys though!

I visited Porto as a solo travel to explore and relax. At the top of my bucket list was to tour the River Douro as exclusively as possible without breaking the bank. I knew that there were a lot of options, but this tour specifically caught my eye. After reading the information, I immediately placed my reservation and I’m so happy I did because it was the highlight of my trip. Me along with 6 other people (they were a group since I booked a shared tour, but I believe you can reserve a non-sharing if you want the boat to yourself), met with the lovely host at the pier and she directed us to the boat — I think it’s a mini yacht, I don’t know boat terminology very well, but all you need to know is that it’s a really charming boat with a classic nautical-themed interior. She gave us a tour and sat us at the top where we relished in the open air while the skipper (a nice, helpful Portuguese man) maneuvered the boat through Porto’s 6 famous bridges. During the tour we were served deliciously refreshing sangrias while groovy music played in the background. You can sit inside the boat, the back has a lot of seating options too, and at the top where the skipper steers and, my personal favorite, the front part where we watched the sun go down (it allows you to lie down, too). Our lovely host was incredibly accommodating and informative, she offered to take pictures and was helpful all throughout the tour. Her service was truly top class and felt very warm. I would definitely do YachtingStyle tours every time I’m in Porto, and recommend their amazing experience to my friends and family. ⭐️
